Unc: History of the Negro Church: Electronic Edition

Curated by ACT

This website is quite unique, in that it compiles historical data in a segmented form of the birth and evolution of Black Christianity in America. Carter G. Woodson, one of the most respected names relative to the anthology of the Negro, delivers a series of literary excerpts on the founding of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church(Negro version), the C.M.E. movement, and the Negro Baptists. The subject of the enslavement of Blacks precipitated much debate during this time, and many of the pioneers in the field of religious education migrated back to a number of African colonies. All in all, this site should provide the reader with a sense of awareness of the plight of black religious leaders of that day, who labored, despite numerous obstacles.
